I'll just live on in the Dark

WHO: Anyone heading to the Iceberg Lounge
WHERE: At a damn fine building downtown
WHEN: 12/12; Night
WARNINGS: Will be edited if necessary.
SUMMARY: Opening night!
FORMAT: Whatever you want! Tag yo'selves in!



Walking into the bar is like walking into a wide open room, but the dimmed lights never seem to be bright enough to catch every detail in one swoop. To the far right wall is the bar, and a long bar it is, with bartenders lining it spaced by about five feet or so in between. Nobody actually sits at the bar, of course. The bartenders are there to make drinks for the servers. While both the bartenders and server girls wear tuxedos, the women's are made for the intent to actually catch the eye, of course. Fishnets replace slacks, dressshirts cut much lower than necessary, and tophats on each woman's head. They grin, and flirt, and make their way, but the moment a hand drifts too far, there's the legion of bouncers who line the walls, watching for any infraction. The Penguin is, after all a chauvenist, but he is no pig.

The middle of the wide area is devoted to tables, an endless sea of white clothed tables, each one a unique and different ice sculpture in the center. Each one unique, lit from beneath with a light that lets an almost wet light radiate from each table.

And of course to the left is the stage, performers that never cease to move, or sing, or whatever is up for the next part of the night. Breaks between each are sparse, quick, and the music never becomes too loud. And the stage, it is lined with penguins. A bit of irony, perhaps, but Penguin wouldn't begrudge his prior career as a gotham rogue. Perhaps he even reveled in the reminder. Out there for everyone to see.

Regardless, there would be no grand plots or schemes tonight. Just a party.

Do you know him? [ She nods her head toward Ozzie. ]
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (no one sees or cares)

[personal profile] gevurah 2011-12-15 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Following her gaze. ]

Oswald Cobblepot? I know of him. [ This is only semi-true. ] He's known by the name the Penguin back in Gotham.
acrossyourpath: (ha!)

[personal profile] acrossyourpath 2011-12-15 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ She laughs. ]

Can't imagine why.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (shh there's something)

[personal profile] gevurah 2011-12-15 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he's got a theme going. What do you think of the Iceberg Lounge so far?
acrossyourpath: (some people want it all)

[personal profile] acrossyourpath 2011-12-15 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
Not my speed for a normal evening. At least this early. [ Clinks her glass again. ] But maybe things will pick up.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (yet so easily)

[personal profile] gevurah 2011-12-15 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
A room full of Gothamites? [ Some of whom are quite temperamental and/or dangerous. ] Something's bound to happen before the night ends.
acrossyourpath: (coy kitty)

[personal profile] acrossyourpath 2011-12-15 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds exciting. I can wait.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (buy yourself a motivation)

[ She finally allows her gaze to settle on Eddie. Not even trying to hide this from Felicia. ]

You came with Nygma tonight, didn't you?
acrossyourpath: (admire)

[personal profile] acrossyourpath 2011-12-15 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a very, very small pause from Felicia. Almost unnoticeable. She brushes her hair from her face. ] He wanted me to meet Mr. Birdbrain over there.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (reads terrible bucky fic)

[ Kate doesn't look angry or remotely upset. Her expression is blank for a fleeting moment, then she looks slightly apologetic. ]

I figure as much.

[ A short intake of breath. ]

I came on too strong. Sorry for that.
acrossyourpath: (clasp)

[personal profile] acrossyourpath 2011-12-15 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Felicia's expression changes from nonchalant to... uncertain. She frowns, takes another drink, and shakes her head. ]

Oh, no. I like strong. It's not that. Or you. It-- [ Looks into her drink. ] Sorry.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (i'm a real lesbian!!)

[personal profile] gevurah 2011-12-16 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Taken aback for a second here. ]

It's him, right? [ She doesn't motion to Eddie, however. It's blatantly obvious. Despite her personal issues with him, she's not a dishonorable person and would not want to do anything if Felicia was back with him. She could punch Eddie in the face, maybe break his nose -- but with Felicia that would be sinking low.

She'd ever sink to that level. ]


It's fine, Felicia.
acrossyourpath: (ssm | over shoulder)

[personal profile] acrossyourpath 2011-12-17 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Fairly solemn pause. It's ambiguous exactly what she's talking about. ] I'm not much of a relationship person. I wasn't planning on anything serious.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (daylight robbery)

[personal profile] gevurah 2011-12-18 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ She opens her mouth to say something but ultimately, nothing. She wasn't looking for anything serious either but she doesn't know what to make of that. ]
acrossyourpath: (dismissive)

[personal profile] acrossyourpath 2011-12-18 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ She brushes her hair from her face. ] Sorry. Maybe I should just leave you to it and go.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (hitting the ceiling)

[personal profile] gevurah 2011-12-18 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
If that's what you want.

[ But she looks concerned, contrary to whatever she says. ]
acrossyourpath: (ssm | sulk)

[personal profile] acrossyourpath 2011-12-18 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Not particularly. But I can respect a person's boundaries.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (took me to the river)

[personal profile] gevurah 2011-12-18 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
What's that supposed to mean? [ If she's implying Kate can't... ]
acrossyourpath: (ssm | over shoulder)

[personal profile] acrossyourpath 2011-12-18 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ SHE'S NOT... Felicia sighs. ]

It means if you don't want to be friends, I don't have to bother you.
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (find him in the bat's mouth)

[personal profile] gevurah 2011-12-18 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She pauses. ]

I do still want to be.
acrossyourpath: (grappling)

[personal profile] acrossyourpath 2011-12-19 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Peers at Kate from between her bangs. ]

You sure?
gevurah: laughs he who laughs last (until i wrap myself)

[personal profile] gevurah 2011-12-19 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Positive, Felicia.

[ And for extra measure: ] I do value our friendship.
acrossyourpath: (coy kitty)

[personal profile] acrossyourpath 2011-12-19 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nods carefully. ]

Me too.
